Endovascular versus open revascularization for acute arterial occlusive mesenteric ischemia: a retrospective single center analysis

Open surgical and endovascular revascularization resulted in comparable outcomes regarding in-hospital mortality, bowel resection, short bowel syndrome, and length of hospital and ICU stay in this retrospective cohort. Treatment decisions should be individualized based on occlusion type, patient condition, and institutional expertise. Prospective multicenter studies are warranted to further refine optimal management strategies for AAOMI.
